Epson will showcase its latest Stylus Photo R390 and Stylus Photo R270 superior quality A4 photo printers, PictureMate PM 100, PictureMate PM 280 and PictureMate PM 240 premium quality 10x15cm photo printers and P-3000 and P-5000 multimedia storage viewers at its Stand # C-4-30, Hall 4, at GITEX 2006 which will be held from November 18 to 22.
The Stylus Photo R390 and Stylus Photo R270 feature Claria Photographic Ink, Epson's new dye ink formulation that yields superior photo quality. The six-colour photo printers also incorporate PhotoEnhance technology, a photo expert inside the printer that ensures bright and vibrant photos are produced every time.
The printers also come with Advanced Variable Sized Droplet technology for smooth tones and fast print speeds, and are ideal for homes where superior print quality is required. Both new models offer cost-effective printing with individual ink cartridges which means users only need to replace the colour that is used. One doesn't have to wait long for photos either as a 10x15cm photo can be printed in just 13 seconds.
The Epson PictureMate PM 100, PictureMate PM 280 and PictureMate PM 240 all work in standalone mode, so users do not even need to connect to their computer. They are easy to use with fast print speeds up to 42 seconds per photo. Exclusive to the PictureMate PM 280, is an internal CD drive allowing users to print directly from a CD or save images from digital memory cards to CD. The printers also provide direct printing from digital camera memory cards, USB DIRECT PRINT, PictBridge and an optional Bluetooth adapter.
In addition to the superior photo quality, images will remain colourful and vibrant for a long time. Both photo-labs offer 200 years durability in album storage, which means that photos can be shared for many generations to come.
Epson's P-5000 and P-3000 are the latest addition to Epson's award winning multimedia storage viewer range. Both models features a large 4.0" Epson Photo Fine Ultra LCD viewer and the world's first four-colour filter system for unrivalled image quality and an increased colour gamut. Boasting long battery lives coupled with vibrant displays, the multimedia devices are versatile tools to store and view photos, listen to songs and watch the latest movies. The P-3000 comes equipped with a 40 GB hard drive while the P-5000 carries an extensive 80 GB of storage capable of housing thousands of multimedia files.
The P-5000 and P-3000 feature a 4.0" LCD viewer with Epson Photo Fine Ultra technology ensuring it provides the highest image viewing quality in its class. The multimedia storage viewers are the first on the market to incorporate a four-colour filter system and support Adobe RGB colour space, for ultra-sharp images. The storage devices offer incredibly fast backup speeds from cameras and other gadgets, with a transfer rate of approximately 155 seconds for 1GB of data from a Compact Flash card.
